8/4 Mets(Maine) @ Cubs(Lilly) 2:55 P.M.(CT) FOX

[CubsNSkers07]

that was me calling rothschild on his cell telling him to get wood in the game!

 

Maybe you want to share Larrys digits with the rest of us???

 

 

haha no he told me to promise not to give his number to strangers!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Marmol in to pitch for the CUBS

[weis21]

I know it's a very tough judgment call to do in a game, but I wish DeRosa would have knocked that ball down and stepped on second and thrown to first for a DP. From the replay it looked like Delgado wasn't running much at all. Worst case scenario, you get the force at second and Delgado is safe at first.

[Soul]

They got Ohman up, not Wood.

 

Apparently he didn't listen to me.

 

Yeah, I don't understand it. Hasn't Marmol's arm been abused enough? 4 run lead, 2 outs in the 8th. Perfect time for Wood, isn't it?

[Soul]

That's 2 strikes in a row that were called balls. This is crap.

WTF they better pitch Wood today.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Alou walked , Wright to second

[CubsNSkers07]

Well....... walk for marmol and lets hope we don't give up any runs and make this any closer than need be

Nope. Now Howry is up. No Wood.

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 25-11 when they issue 2 BBs or less.

 

 

Go CUBS !!

[CubsNSkers07]

That's 2 strikes in a row that were called balls. This is crap.

 

 

Make up call right there for strike 2

Marmol is filthy!

 

He's also going to be on the DL soon if Lou keeps pitching him every day.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Let's score a couple runs so we can get a guaranteed appearance by Kerry...

[Alfonso Soriano]

Lou-

"Wood is defiantly pitching today"

[Mizzou]

Lou-

"Wood is defiantly pitching today"

Defiantly?

[weis21]

Why did the ump wait until Kendall tagged him? There was a runner at first so he didn't have to tag him, correct?

 

If wood doesn't pitch the ninth then I'm pissed.

[Mizzou]

Damn it, he's not warming up. Come on!

[Fred Hornkohl]

DeRosa flied out to left field

[badger1679666666]

I don't think Lou wants to bring him in with men on for his first time.

[CubsNSkers07]

We want wood *clap* we want wood *clap* we want wood *clap*

[cjbucks]

If Marmol pitches the 9th i'll be even more pissed

[Fred Hornkohl]

Jones grounded out to first, unassisted

[weis21]
